What is it indicated for?
Cove Strip is an implant intended to fill bony voids or gaps of the skeletal system (i.e., posterolateral spine and pelvis). These osseous defects are surgically created or the result of traumatic injury to the bone and are not intrinsic to the stability of the bony structure. Cove Strip resorbs and is replaced with bone during the healing process. Cove Strip must be used with autograft as a bone graft extender in the posterolateral spine and pelvis.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
